Arc (NNN 2025 CHAMPION) @arc@gameliberty.club

@ChristiJunior My love for Misty may be toxic nostalgia, but at it's core it's an appreciation for the natural beauty that 90's and 2000's tomboys were so good at. As much as I will 😭 for Blue Archive girls, all of them are specifically crafted, pandering almost, to the point where they get lost among each other. Neru, while quite the bratty gaki, would preform about the same as about any other Blue Archive girl in her spot. The fact that I know Neru's name only because of Pixiv tags rather than the actual game is a testament to the lack of sincerity of her design. The natural beauty of Kasumi ("Misty" for you gaijin) warms the heart thanks to the tasteful classic design sense of Ken Sugimori, which Misty lovers have experienced first hand via the source materials, not via 60 browser tabs on a booru at 4AM. Misty is not just *a* vidya girl, she may be THE vidya girl.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad I do enjoy how much more "inspired" it feels on the NES, especially with the "fantasy but with a futuristic twist" happening like Ultima or Might & Magic... The remakes (I only played Dawn of Souls previously) kind of lose a lot of that charm stylistically. Swole class advancement sprites especially...

@noyoushutthefuckupdad THAT'S RIGHT

And luckily I beat it with only two casualties and immediately left to go claim Excalibur aaa

Apparently this party-nuking motherfucker is a 1% encounter chance at the end of this long-ass dungeon and I didn't save after looting everything and gaining a bunch of levels

Here's your 2000's PC game remaster bro

@Terry @DireGoy

About to destroy this ancient jew

Also tried a filter specifically for capturing even though I am already playing on a TV but I think it looks nice for screenshots

@Moto_Chagatai
HUGE WIN FOR FREEDOM I scream as the person who stomps me into the asphalt admits he is stomping me into the asphalt

@William_The_Dragonborn Really hating the current Child Molestation meta, been trying to run an Aggravated Assault and Murder combo deck at my LGS's weekly and went decisively 0-2

@sendpaws isn't it an immense pain to self-host BlueSky as well?

Next on my sudden urge to play retro games was Mega Man X2. A straight up upgrade in all aspects from X1. Also after, I quickly beat Gargoyle's Quest on Game Boy since it was so short and I played other GnG games. Both highly recommended!

Completely unintentionally, all the games I've been playing recently were Capcom. Maybe I should try something different...
